Abstract
Nineteen isosteviol derivatives were designed and synthesized by C-16, C-19 and D-ring modifications of isosteviol. These compounds were screened for their cytotoxic activities against Hela and A549 cells in vitro. Among them, the inhibitory effect of compounds 3b and 16 on Hela cells was comparable to that of the positive control gefitinib, and the compounds 3b (IC50=7.84 ± 0.84 μM) and 7a (IC50=6.89 ± 0.33 μM) exhibited significant cytotoxicity superior to gefitinib (IC50=11.02 ± 3.27 μM) against A549 cells.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:262. [PMID: 38399477 PMCID: PMC10893060 DOI: 10.3390/ph17020262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Starting from isosteviol, a series of diterpenoid 1,3-aminoalcohol derivatives were prepared via stereoselective transformations. The acid-catalysed hydrolysis and rearrangement of natural stevioside produced isosteviol, which was transformed into the key intermediate methyl ester. In the next step, an 1,3-aminoalcohol library was prepared by the reductive amination of the intermediate 3-hydroxyaldehyde obtained from isosteviol in a two-step synthesis. To study the effect of the carboxylate ester function at position 4, the free carboxylic acid, benzyl ester and acryloyl ester analogues were prepared as elongated derivatives in comparison with our earlier results in this field. The antiproliferative activity of compounds against human tumour cell lines (A2780, HeLa, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) was investigated. In our preliminary study, the 1,3-aminoalcohol function with N-benzyl or (1H-imidazol-1-yl)-propyl substitution and benzyl ester moiety seemed essential for the reliable antiproliferative activity. The results obtained could be a good starting point to further functionalisation towards more efficient antiproliferative diterpenes.

Abstract
Acid hydrolysis of stevioside resulted in a 63% yield of isosteviol (1), which served as a starting material for the preparation of numerous amides. These compounds were tested for cytotoxic activity, employing a panel of human tumor cell lines, and almost all amides were found to be non-cytotoxic. Only the combination of isosteviol, a (homo)-piperazinyl spacer and rhodamine B or rhodamine 101 unit proved to be particularly suitable. These spacered rhodamine conjugates exhibited cytotoxic activity in the sub-micromolar concentration range. In this regard, the homopiperazinyl-spacered derivatives were found to be better than those compounds with piperazinyl spacers, and rhodamine 101 conjugates were more cytotoxic than rhodamine B hybrids.

Abstract
Starting from isosteviol, a series of diterpenoid 1,3-aminoalcohol derivatives were stereoselectively synthesised. The acid-catalysed hydrolysis and rearrangement of natural stevioside gave isosteviol, which was transformed to the key intermediate methyl ester. In the next step, Mannich condensation of diterpenoid ketone, paraformaldehyde, and secondary amines resulted in the formation of 1,3-aminoketones with different stereoselectivities. During the Mannich condensation with dibenzylamine, an interesting N-benzyl → N-methyl substituent exchange was observed. Reduction of 1,3-aminoketones produced diastereoisomeric 1,3-aminoalcohols. Alternatively, aminoalcohols were obtained via stereoselective hydroxy-formylation, followed by oxime preparation, reduction, and finally, reductive alkylation of the obtained primary aminoalcohols. An alternative 1,3-aminoalcohol library was prepared by reductive amination of the intermediate 3-hydroxyaldehyde obtained from isosteviol in two-step synthesis. Cytotoxic activity of compounds against human tumour cell lines (A2780, SiHa, HeLa, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) was investigated. In our preliminary study, the 1,3-aminoalcohol function and N-benzyl substitution seemed to be essential for the reliable antiproliferative activity. To extend their application, a diterpenoid condensed with 2-phenylimino-1,3-thiazine and -1,3-oxazine was also attempted to prepare, but only formation of thioether intermediate was observed.

Abstract
Isosteviol, an ent-beyerane diterpenoid, has been repeatedly reported to possess potent cardioprotective activity. With the aim of discovering new cardioprotective derivatives from isosteviol, 47 compounds, including 40 new ones, were synthesized and evaluated in vivo using the easy-handling and efficient zebrafish model. The structure-activity relationship of this type of compounds was thus discussed. Of these compounds, new derivative 15d exhibited the most pronounced efficacy in vivo. Our results indicated that 15d could effectively prevent the doxorubicin-induced morphological distortions and cardiac dysfunction in zebrafish. Its cardioprotective activity is much better than that of isosteviol, and Levosimendan in zebrafish model. The molecular mechanism underlying in H9c2 cells indicated that 15d protected cardiomyocyte death and damage through inhibiting the reactive oxygen species overproduction, restoring the mitochondrial membrane potential and maintaining morphology of mitochondrial. Thus, 15d merits further development as a potential cardioprotective clinical trial candidate. The present study is a successful example to combine synthesis, structure-activity relationship study and in vivo screening to effectively discover new cardioprotective agents from isosteviol.

Abstract
Isosteviol has been reported to reverse hypertrophy and related inflammatory responses in in vitro models representative of cardiac muscle cells. The disposition of isosteviol is, however, characterized by secondary peaks and long plasma residence time despite reports of a relatively short half-life in liver fractions. The present study describes a compartmental approach to modelling the secondary peaks characteristic of isosteviol's concentration-time data in Sprague-Dawley rats. Oral (4 mg/kg) and intravenous (4 mg/kg) doses of isosteviol were administered to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Plasma samples collected between 0 and 72 h, and total bile secreted in 24 h, were analysed for isosteviol content with LC-MS/MS techniques. The disposition of isosteviol was, thereafter, described with a structural model that accounted for the sampling, liver and biliary secretion compartments, with a gap-time characterizing the accumulation and subsequent emptying of isosteviol for re-absorption. The half-life of isosteviol following oral dosing was about 103% greater in female rats than in the male, and the model-derived area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) in 72 h was about 756% greater in female animals than in males. Following the administration of intravenous doses of isosteviol, half-life and AUC in 24 h were about 332% and 595%, respectively, higher in female rats than in males. Isosteviol equivalent secreted into bile over 24 h accounted for about 94% of orally administered dose in male rats, and about 59% of oral dose in females. These findings show a differential systemic removal of isosteviol in Sprague-Dawley rats, likely explainable by gender-related differences in the glucuronidation-capacity of isosteviol.

Abstract
ent-16-Oxobeyeran-19-N-methylureido (NC-8) is a recently synthesized derivative of iso-steviol that showed anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity by disturbing replication and gene expression of the HBV and by inhibiting the host toll-like receptor 2/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway. To study its pharmacokinetics as a part of the drug development process, a highly sensitive, rapid, and reliable liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for determining NC-8 in rat plasma. After protein precipitation extraction, the chromatographic separation of the analyte and internal standard (IS; diclofenac sodium) was performed on a reverse-phase Luna C18 column coupled with a Quattro Ultima triple quadruple mass spectrometer in the multiple-reaction monitoring mode using the transitions, m/z 347.31 → 75.09 for NC-8 and m/z 295.89 → 214.06 for the IS. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.5 ng/mL. The linear scope of the standard curve was between 0.5 and 500 ng/mL. Both the precision (coefficient of variation; %) and accuracy (relative error; %) were within acceptable criteria of <15%. Recoveries ranged from 104% to 113.4%, and the matrix effects (absolute) were nonsignificant (CV ≤ 6%). The validated method was successfully applied to investigate the pharmacokinetics of NC-8 in male Sprague–Dawley rats. The present methodology provides an analytical means to better understand the preliminary pharmacokinetics of NC-8 for investigations on further drug development.

Abstract
The biological effects attributed to nitric oxide (• NO) and nitroxyl (HNO) have been extensively studied, propelling their array of putative clinical applications beyond cardiovascular disorders toward other age-related diseases, like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In this context, the unique properties and reactivity of the N-O bond enabled the development of several classes of compounds with potential clinical interest, among which • NO and HNO donors, nitrones, and nitroxides are of particular importance. Although primarily studied for their application as cardioprotective agents and/or molecular probes for radical detection, continuous efforts have unveiled a wide range of pharmacological activities and, ultimately, therapeutic applications. These efforts are of particular significance for diseases in which oxidative stress plays a key pathogenic role, as shown by a growing volume of in vitro and in vivo preclinical data. Although in its early stages, these efforts may provide valuable guidelines for the development of new and effective N-O-based drugs for age-related disorders. In this report, we review recent advances in the chemistry of NO and HNO donors, nitrones, and nitroxides and discuss its pharmacological significance and potential therapeutic application.

Abstract
Two series of novel acylthiosemicarbazide and oxadiazole fused-isosteviol derivatives were synthesized based on the 19-carboxyl modification. The target compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicities against three cancer cell lines (HCT-116, HGC-27, and JEKO-1) using an MTT assay. Lead compounds from the acylthiosemicarbazides (4) showed IC50 values in the lower micromolar range. For example, compounds (4i, 4l, 4m, 4r, and 4s) exhibited significant inhibitory activities against the three cell lines with IC50 values of 0.95-3.36 μm. Furthermore, 2D-HQSAR and 3D-topomer CoMFA analyses were established, which could be used to develop second generation of isosteviol derivatives as anticancer agents.

Abstract
A series of novel 1,2,3-triazole-linked isosteviol derivatives were designed and synthesized via Huisgen-click reaction. Their cytotoxicities in vitro against HCT-116 and JEKO-1 cells were screened. The preliminary bioassays indicated that most of the title compounds exhibited noteworthy cytotoxic activities. Particularly, the compound 10b revealed the most potent inhibitory activities against HCT-116 cells with IC50 value of 2.987±0.098μM, which was better than that (3.906±0.261μM) of positive control cisplatin. On the basis of these bioactivity data, hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR) was performed, and a statistically reliable model with good predictive power (r2=0.848, q2=0.544 and R2pred=0.982) was achieved. Additionally, the contribution maps derived from the optimal model explained the individual atomic contributions to the activity for each molecule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For the last two decades, diterpenoid isosteviol and its derivatives have gained significant attention for novel chemical transformation in the drug discovery field. RESULTS An efficient way towards the synthesis of structurally diverse isosteviol derivatives was described here employing unsaturated functionalities as attractive templates for further transformation such as epoxidation. These structurally diverse compounds exhibited promising cytotoxic activities on different types of cancer cell lines, leading to drug discovery derived from natural products for the treatment of cancer. CONCLUSION In this work, novel isosteviol derivatives with Michael acceptors were synthesized to expand the diversity and complexity of a class of isosteviol-derived triazole conjugates to facilitate the development of potential antitumor agents.

Abstract
A series of novel triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cations of the diterpenoid isosteviol (1, 16-oxo-ent-beyeran-19-oic acid) have been synthesized and evaluated in an in vivo phenotypic sea urchin embryo assay for antimitotic activity. The TPP moiety was applied as a carrier to provide selective accumulation of a connected compound into mitochondria. When applied to fertilized eggs, the targeted isosteviol TPP conjugates induced mitotic arrest with the formation of aberrant multipolar mitotic spindles, whereas both isosteviol and the methyltriphenylphosphonium cation were inactive. The structure-activity relationship study revealed the essential role of the TPP group for the realization of the isosteviol effect, while the chemical structure and the length of the linker only slightly influenced the antimitotic potency. The results obtained using the sea urchin embryo model suggested that TPP conjugates of isosteviol induced mitotic spindle defects and mitotic arrest presumably by affecting mitochondrial DNA. Since targeting mitochondria is considered as an encouraging strategy for cancer therapy, TPP-isosteviol conjugates may represent promising candidates for further design as anticancer agents.

Abstract
One of the keys for successfully developing drugs against the broad spectrum of cancer cell types is structural diversity. In the current study, we focused on a family of isosteviol derivatives as potential novel antitumor agents. Isosteviol is a tetracyclic diterpenoid obtained by acid hydrolysis of steviol glycoside extracts isolated from abundant Stevia rebaudiana plants. In this work, we have designed and synthesized a panel of isosteviol triazole conjugates using "click" chemistry methodology. Evaluation of these compounds against a series of cancer cell lines derived from primary and metastatic tumors demonstrated that these conjugates exhibit cytotoxic activities with IC50 in the low μM range. In addition, their anti-proliferative activities are cancer cell type specific. Taken together, our studies underscore the importance of structural diversity in achieving cancer cell type specific drug development.
